What If...

Chapter Two

Riley's POV

    The smell of gourmet foods wafted through my room as my mom buzzed through our house intercom to wake me up.

    "Good morning sweetie. It's time to wake up for your first day of high school. When you're ready, come downstairs to eat some breakfast. The chefs have prepared pretty much any breakfast food you can imagine." I just woke up, how am I going to remember everything she just said? "Oh, and before I forget, Lucas and Farkle said they may stop by for breakfast as well."

    Oh no! Lucas is going to be here? That means I have to put on all my makeup and do my hair before he comes. I jump out of my bed and run to the intercom box. "Hey mom, what time is Luc- "

    DING DONG DING

    Oh no. Not the doorbell. That is probably Lucas and I literally just got out of bed.  I should've expected it though honestly, he always gets to everything early. Well, it doesn't look like my mom is going to answer the door, so I hit the front door button on the intercom box.

    "Who is it?" I'm half hoping that it is just Farkle, he has seen me a mess before, so it won't matter if he sees the morning me. But, honestly, the other half of me wants it to be Lucas, because I love talking to him and I love him. As a friend. As a friend. Yea, as a friend. But I do like him, like a crush.

    "Helloooo Riley." It's just Farkle. I buzz him in. Wait, it's just Farkle, where is Lucas? I'm really glad Farkle is here though. I can't imagine anybody else I'd like to spend the morning of my first day of school with.

    "Hi Farkle. I am still getting ready in my room. You are welcome to come up and chit chat with me as I do my hair and makeup, or you could just sit and talk with my mom while you eat some food." I know he will probably choose to sit and talk with my mom because things with me and him have been a little awkward, but I thought I'd still give him the option.

    "Umm, okay. I think I'll come and talk to you. I already had some food at my house." Huh, that's odd. I'm not complaining or anything, Farkle means the world to me. I guess things between him and Haley have cooled off since they fought because he doesn't like her best friend, May I think her name is, it's the new girl. Also because of me, but I think that's nothing.

    Okay, I guess I should pick out my clothes for the first day now. I'll have to change in my bathroom now because Farkle is going to be in here. As I was looking through my closet for my favorite new sundress, Farkle knocked on my door.

    "Hey Riles, can I come in?"

    "Of course, how has your morning gone so far? I still don't understand why you and Lucas both get up so early." I thought I got up early until I learned that both Lucas and Farkle got up at 4:00am. I wake up at 5:00am, which I also learned that's what time most kids that go to our school wake up.

    "It was good. I got up, got dressed, brushed my teeth, and then headed out the door to walk over here." That took him an hour? He is a guy, it should take like 15 minutes.

    "Wait, I thought you said you ate at your house already." Maybe he just gave me a small run down when he really did more.

    "Well I didn't, I just didn't want to sit and talk with your mom, but I also didn't want to hurt her feelings." Sounds like Farkle, although he has sure changed since the beginning of middle school. He is as dorky and childish anymore. He is more handsome than cute, and definitely more stylish. I guess he is kind of hot now. Wait, what am I thinking. I like Lucas and he likes me. And Farkle is dating Haley, and although I don't necessarily like Haley right now because she left me for the new girl, I still want her and Farkle to be happy.
